Devin Townsend Project begins where Ziltoid the Omniscient left off, with Devin Townsend at the helm. The project is a planned four-album series. Rather than a specific line-up of musicians, as he utilized in The Devin Townsend Band, and rather than performing the entirety of the music himself, as in Ziltoid the Omniscient, the Devin Townsend Project will feature a number of different musicians for each album.

The first release, Ki, is set to be available for purchase by late May and early June 2009. For Ki, Townsend recruited veteran jazz drummer Duris Maxwell, local bassist Jean Savoie, and the former keyboardist for The Devin Townsend Band, Dave Young. Devin has also recruited Ché Dorval as an additional vocalist.

The second release is titled Addicted. Planned to be a heavy, simplistic, and straightforward rock album, it serves as the bridge from the quieter Ki to the expected zany metal tones of the album following it. The line-up thus far confirmed is Ryan Van Poederooyen (also a veteran of The Devin Townsend Band) on the drums, another member of the DTB Brian Waddell on the bass, and Anneke van Giersbergen (notable from The Gathering, Agua de Annique and Ayreon) on an unspecified amount of vocals.

The third and fourth albums are called Deconstruction and Ghost, with further concrete details forthcoming.

Sometimes you just have to shave your head. Without any reason.

Guess he decided that bold head = more evil look. ...But I'd also shave my head if I had the hair he did.

I must say I'm dissapointed about Addicted... its good, it has good songs, but it also has some really bad songs and the overall feeling isnt for me so much... but, Supercrush! is still one of the best songs I have heard for a long time!! :)

Kuminiska: Devin also said he would play some of the songs from the DTP albums. If that is the case, it isn't as far-fetched to put this entity as on tour.

Addicted is slowly growing on me. At first, I was kinda disappointed by it. Now it's getting better and better with each listen.

I like Strapping Young Lad, yet never really got into Devin's solo project. However it's amazing, Addicted that is, but Anneke has a way of making an album that would have only been good, sound awesome!!!

After repeated listens, I have come to the conclusion that Devin hasnt released an album this solid since Alien (excluding Ziltoid).

Dimwits! Devin Townsend Project isn't on tour, the touring entity is called just Devin Townsend. He only plays his solo material on that tour (Infinity, Terria etc.) Oh yeah, and Addicted is awesome!
